What Causes Itchiness All Over The Body While Having Depression?

I am diabetic and have high blood pressure and suffer from depression. My sleep pattern has slowly changed over the past year. I am now sleeping from 5-6am till noon or 1p. Part of the problem is that I start itching all over my body about 4 am. This itching has been going on about a 2 weeks to a month.....

General & Family Physician, Dr. Purva Patel's Response

Hi,

Itching is the histamine-mediated allergic reaction of the body, which can be from:

@ side effect of certain drugs as antidiabetic, antidepressant or others
@ allergy to a particular allergen of the atmosphere as pollen, house dust or so forth.
@ sensitivity to particular cloth material as silk or terry cotton.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Purva Patel, General & Family Physician
